Hearsay (Mind Loft)

Hearsay is built on the kind of puzzle where ignorance carries information. A list of candidates, such as entries on a ringing sheet, is shown to everyone. Two people (three on Sundays) are each told a single detail of the secret entry and nothing else. Then they speak, a few lines at a time, saying whether they know the answer yet.

When someone says they cannot work it out, every candidate that would have given them the answer is ruled out. When someone says that now they can, the candidates that would have left them unsure fall away. Each line cuts the list, and exactly one entry survives all of them. You uncover the conversation and cross out candidates until you can name it.

Wrong answers are counted, and the leaderboard compares score and time. A new case appears every day at midnight Eastern, with a third voice added on Sundays. The Sunday Edition is the biggest board of the week: on 18 October 2026 it was a print room list of 16 engravings, with three people told the plate, the state and the paper. Hearsay is also one of five cases in Mind Loft's Judged run, beside Ergo, Sworn, Docket and Alibi, and it sits in Mind Loft's logic set with Axiom and Fib.
